The Body Will Thrive

 

The Body Will Thrive takes its title and its inspiration from Lore Stessel's photo book The Body Will Thrive.

A fascinating exchange between the photographer and the dancer/choreographer Jason Respilieux has developed in recent years. Think of it as a wave motion that continues.

 

Come immerse yourself.

Lore draws inspiration for her work from the movement of the dancers and their singularity. These expressions crystallized in a series of images, here reciprocates a receptive direction to the movement. Through this we cast a new eye on Lore's work. Between photographer and choreographer, approach here the interplay of their observations and let yourself be guided by this sensitive exploration of what makes up matter.  

Due to its malleable format, The Body Will Thrive wishes to reinvent itself according to the specifics of venues, events and their environment.

The Body Will Thrive also exist as a tryptich video installation combining an interview from Lore stessel's work, the dance film by Jason Respilieux and a video clip from the Third Guy's Ghost Track.
